This 1979 Shannon 28 is a cutter-rigged cruising sailboat built with passage-making in mind. The dual roller-furling system—featuring both a staysail and self-tacking jib—enables efficient sail management and balanced helm in varying conditions. Powered by a 15-horsepower Yammer diesel engine, the boat combines traditional seakeeping design with practical cruising capability.
The interior centers on a single cabin with one head, laid out for comfortable extended voyaging. The boat carries a full suite of electronics suited to blue-water cruising, alongside conventional amenities that support self-sufficient offshore operation.
The fiberglass hull and Shannon's proven construction make this a capable platform for serious sailing. The roller-furling rig and self-tacking configuration reduce physical demands, a practical asset for a two-person crew working long passages.
